Comfort food

My favourite comfort food!

I love aglio e olio pasta but I would never order it in a restaurant. Because they charge ridiculously for something so easy and cheap to make! This traditional Italian pasta is my favourite comfort food and it’s super easy to make.  All you need is:

• Spaghetti (you can also use linguine or fettuccine)
• 5 cloves of garlic (peeled and chopped)
• 2 or 3 dried red chilli (chopped)
• Olive oil
• Parsley
• Salt

Directions:

• Fill a pot with water and add in some salt (like how you normally cook pasta)

• Once it starts to boil add in the pasta

• Take a small frying pan and add in some olive oil. This is your sauce. Try not to go overboard. Two or three tablespoons should be enough.

• Sautee the garlic for awhile then add in the dried chilli. Stir until the garlic turns golden brown then turn the heat of

• Drain the pasta and taste for salt. This depends on your liking. Some prefer it to be really salty so add in according to what you like

• Put the pasta back in the pot and add in the garlic, oil and chilli mixture and stir until it’s well mixed.

• Add a sprinkle of parsley and your ready to eat!

Alternately you can also add in some prawns. Get a handful, peel and devein them than season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Fry it with a little bit of olive oil till it turns brown then add it in to your pasta. Voila!
